On the shores of Lake Atitlan in Guatemala sits a dreamer’s paradise at  Villa Sumaya.  In Sanskrit Sumaya means a dream that has found its time.  This natural refuge offers beautiful vistas of dormant volcanoes, and is the perfect location for a yoga retreat that speaks of finding your dreams through renewal.

November is a glorious time to travel to Guatemala with promises of sunny days and stunning sunsets that dip into the volcanoes rising majestically over Lago de Atitlan, the deepest lake in Central America, This week long Yoga and Life Coaching Retreat runs from November 26th to December 2nd, and can be your road to renewal.

According to ancient Mayan beliefs, Lake Atitlan is the centre of the universe.  It is therefore the perfect place to centre yourself.  On 18 acres of secluded lakefront, this simple, rustic place is where you can find peace, and can take the time to dive deeper into your inner being.

With the help of Nevin Elgendy, “a Martha Beck Certified Life Coach, you can learn to spot your habits, tendencies, and limiting beliefs that keep you stuck.”  Complimented by daily Yoga sessions led by Melinda Abbott, this retreat is in fact a dream come true.

“Our days,” says Melinda, “will begin with 90 minutes of Vinyasa Yoga and meditation work, followed by  life coaching sessions by Nevin that will help us address our mindset – ultimately looking to see what has created the reality that we live in, and what is shaping our present and our future. We will work towards letting go what is no longer useful, and embracing our potential for brilliance. This will be a life changing week to say the least!”

A Yogis Road to Renewal at Villa Sumaya

  1. I find my best renewal after each hot yoga practice. I also find renewal looking into my husband’s eyes and seeing him smile with me. Lastly, I find great renewal when I gaze into my student’s faces after they have grasped the concept I have just taught them.

  2. I find renewal when I walk at the park..it clears my head,gets my body moving and I can look at the beautiful scenery and recharge.

  3. I find renewal at a local park near the water. I’m not lucky enough to live near the ocean but I do have the great lakes.

  4. I find renewal at our local Beach! The sand and waves bring me so much calm and peace!

  5. I find renewal after my cycling around the guild wheel in Preston,great scenery and good workout.

  6. I find renewal when I wake up before my kids and have some free time in the crip mornings.

  7. I find renewal when I am at camp, relaxing in the wilderness in quiet is always so peaceful!

  8. I find renewal sitting on a surf board in the middle of the ocean. Nothing better to clear the mind of all life’s stresses and worries.
